Hello all….I’ve also had numerous e mail’s promising great wealth yet again from money map services.I’m not suggesting it doesn’t work this money calendar but its a really big ask for a system that doesn’t have any guarantees or risk free trial period …,he could literally do anything and you wouldn’t have a leg to stand on…or for that matter a shirt to wear either haha.Too risky for me ladies and gents…I hope it does work and maybe he will be realistic with his clients regarding taking risks.It Sounds fabulous …but don’t they all …my mind drifts to Bellicum Pharma that was promised as a life changer stock.It didn’t happen!
ouch , but that was their bio/pharmacy play not tom gentile !
yup it could have been a money maker , but they did not sell it in time , and now another MoneyMap service is making money on it – a PUT – as it goes down ,sigh
Has anyone had dealings with this Martin Lewis system as its saying you can make 450 a day!They all sound too good to be true but coming from Martin Lewis may have some authority ….you just don’t know who to trust on line …it’s a nightmare.
Its a fake ad unfortunately as Martin does not sponsor or promote financial products
I watched the Money Calendar video today and then called the office, twice, and asked several questions. I thought the answers were very straight forward. This is basically what I learned: 1. For some reason I was under the impression that each trade was based on a $500 investment. I was wrong, the figures used in the video are each based on a $2,500 investment. 2. The trades are purchase and sale of puts and/or calls and the use of spreads to avoid extreme risk. 3. For this year to date, the system has produced approx. a 39% profit. Much lower than I had expected. Thanks again to Mr. Gumshoe for all that he does for investors, including a place where we can share our thoughts.
If it was so great why are highest ratings only two stars…. l smell a rat. Never do you discuss put and call costs or when.
Is there any affordable service that a beginner can subscribe too and earn while learning, they all promise the world but it seems like no one is willing to give a refund or real advice, just speculation. I would like to find a service to follow that has at least a 70% win rate . Do all of them just make money from subscriptions?
ksmith – buy preferred stocks and you have the best chance of making some money. I own several preferred stocks and so far all of them are making me money, some monthly and most quarterly. ARR-B is one of mine that pays monthly. CYS-A pays quarterly and RSO-A pays quarterly. Do not pay more than $25.00 per share or you loose money if the stock is called. You will only receive $25.00 per share even if you paid $26.00 for it. Start small with several different ones and see how they work for you before putting in very much money. I started with 5 different preferred stocks and only bought 25 shares of each, so far so good. Good luck.
Thanks, I am just looking to earn while I learn, not looking to get rich just eventually in 3-5 years learn enough to earn $3k a month
I won’t be able to afford more than $25 per stock, how do I research and find what is preffered stock and thanks for the heads up on the one’s you use
ksmith If you are just starting out and don’t have a bunch of money to work with then just go to the cboe website and sign up for the paperless trading account. People like Tom always make it sound so easy to trade options for profit. There is a lot of free training out there. Most of it can be found with what options trader you go with. Good luck.
Thanks for the information.how do you research which overrepresented to purchase?
Hello I have signed up for Options Advantage and High Yield Trader offered by Ian Wyatt. Andy Crowder is their Options specialist and Jake Kent in their office has been very patient and helpful. I plan to post a review perhaps in 6 months time to gauge results and quality of Alerts etc.
Another note, Ian Wyatt’s Marijuana recommendations have been very profitable thus far.
I don’t think anybody will guarantee you 70% gains, however if you want to learn how to trade options, and only choose option combinations that have a 80% to 90% probability of profit, that is very simple. Just go to https://www.tastytrade.com. They offer up to 7+ hours/day of LIVE free training from experts plus their entire archive of video training dating back several years is also available for free. They are the training branch of a brokerage firm called TastyWorks. They are honest and helpful beyond belief, and have very low commissions on trading options ($1 to buy and zero to sell). I am NOT affiliated with them, just one of a million believers! They are in Chicago. The creator, Tom Sosnoff and his sidekick Tony Battista have a live show that starts every morning at 8:00 am Chicago tIme I think.
Guys, let me save you the trouble and make you some money on the iPhone event tomorrow.
1) Look at getting AAPL Sep 29th strangles for the $162.50 calls & 160 puts. When it picks a direction, sell the losing leg, hold the winning leg. When you have a nice gain, cash out.
2) Head over to https://fedtraderservice.com/order to get future trade alerts.
3) Follow for future alerts 🙂
(this AAPL trade is different than most of my trade alerts, most are on SPY/GLD events)
After looking over the material I decided the program wasn’t for me, however, I was told there was no refund, even though I had not used their services. This was about the second day after I had subscribed. I may have trouble establishing an account with my broker, also.
happened to bump into this page, I’m not a Gumshoe but got Money Calendar Pro free with a Money Map Press subscription for something else. First 20 trades had an average risk of $277 and made $2.8K. Working on second block, using 2% of $25K starting balance (average risk $600) am up $8K in 10 trades (we’re on a winning streak, doesn’t always happen). He is the real thing, that’s for sure. He only uses OTM options when he does a vertical spread on a trade that otherwise can’t be under $500. Otherwise, he uses 1-2-month out options (weeklies or monthly, goes for best price).
Are you still trading with Tom Gentile?
“If it sounds too good to be true…
One of the biggest wastes of my money I have ever experienced. Not only were the trades that were selected using the Money Calendar absolutely 100% losing trades, the customer service received afterwards when I attempted to cancel the subscription was rather hard to believe. Anyone that likes to keep their money should stay away from this classic huckster; his advertising is nothing short of hilarious; one trader who he is promoting has suddenly come across a “Secret Government Calender” that is supposed to have dates when certain equities are going to explode. I have never heard such nonsense in all my life but I am sure there will be many people who believe this B……T. Shame on the Feds for not reeling in this charlatan; he is a disgrace to the trading community and needs to be brought to the forefront to account for his quackery.
FRED, I do feel so badly for you, but I’m so curious as to what prompted you to buy into his program originally? How is it that you see now that his ads are hilarious and that he’s a classic huckster and charlatan, but you didn’t see it before you purchased it? How did you not see that there was no money back guarantee with your purchase? I am asking respectfully because I could see that he was talking nonsense and that “if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.” I think he attached such a large price tag to his program to try and add credibility to it. Which is so ironic because now others are following suit. It’s a shame and as you said, there has to be some recourse to this. Will your credit card company fight the charge for you on your behalf? I’m working with a very small amount of money in my account, just shy of $13,000, so that would be a huge loss to me. Best of luck to you on recovering your funds.
Please don’t use his service, losing money that is why, I start used from June and 90% are loss.
Please try my service… We do much better than 10% win rate! :-]
http://www.fedtraderservice.com
If he said buy call you go buy put and you have 90% chance to win, that is what I got, you can tell how angry I am. if you need more details please email me.
The service I got is “weekly money call ” and before call “weekly cash o’clock ” , I don’t have to have 100% return,I won’t say anything here if I have just 5% return .
Me too with the weekly money call. I tried about one months plus. Don’t make any money at all
The site is loaded with pop-ups in the middle of reading the trades and portfolio, regarding to advertising other MMP (MoneyMap PRess) services. MM customer service has been little help with shutting off the annoying spam that blocks viewing screens. Disabling most ever “feature” in Chrome, I still can’t get the last popups shut off, they seem to be java encoded, and if I shut that off, then the links that expand to see the rest of the message are disabled.
This week, I’ve lost almost $1000 on his money calls. Past ones were also losers.
On May 2, Tom Gentile recommended two earnings plays. First one: SELL-to-OPEN TSLA May 4, 2018 $270 Puts. The second one: SELL-to-OPEN BABA May 4, 2018 $175 Puts. Notice that these trades had only two (2) days until expiration, as that’s how earnings plays are impremented. I got much better prices than his recommended prices, and both options expired worthless, meaning that I would have kept ALL of the premiums collected if I had let them expire. However, because of market volatility, Tom recommended to close these trades in early afternoon of May 4th. I had already closed mine a few hours earlier, and still made a handsome profit one each one. These were my first trades with this service (Fast Fortune Club). I realize that losers are inevitable, but at least we are off to a good start!
Glad to hear this, as I subscribed without really thinking about all the things I don’t know. I thought I could learn how to end the options quickly. I was just looking at Ticker Tape for that. I really think that I probably need to read more about this, first, or do you think a bank’s brokerage service would handle everything okay? I’d really appreciate it if you give more updates on your success. We have our first one May 31, but I think we’re both chickening out. I’d particularly like to know what you do if they don’t go in your favor, and how that works out.
Was in the Money Calendar for a year….well after one month in 2016 I stopped listening. But last year about this
time (late December) he recommended trades as follows: VZ (at 53) a 1/18/19 $55 call, its at 53 now after a down year;
a call spread around $95 on PG when it was at 84; it’s at 92.10 today; PFE at 32.48 had us buy $32 calls, it’s at 36 now so good on that one; CSCO was at $30 and had us buy 1/19/18 $30 calls; it’s up near 38 so I’m up $1K on that one, and last was a KO 40/45 call spread and KO is now at 45.93
Tonight he gave a presentation which was ultimately a pitch for MOney Calendar Pro, but he also listed a
Flaming Five for 2018 and guess what stocks: VZ PFE KO CSCO like last year and GE. Only one different from last year. I already have $17 calls out on GE and its starting to show signs of life. Except this time he says you’ll find out how to make 14K off 1K investment in the Flagging Five when you sign up. Uh…no.
So thanks for the presentation, but at the end of the day he is mostly another MMP huckster, so I’m sticking with just using Travis, Cramer, Schaeffer, some insight from Bottarelli and mostly my gut – which all told is up 47% this year ,mostly playing 1-3 month options.
For anyone who is curious, some of those trades mentioned above were part of what Tom calls the “flying five”. All he’s doing here is using options to trade the Dogs Of The Dow. He repeated the strategy this year.
As a whole, Dogs Of The Dow strategies tend to be successful and using options should multiply the effect. So to his credit, it’s a good strategy. But you really don’t need a big money subscription service to help you identify the Dogs and set up trades around them.
Of course not – once you got that idea in your head and understand how to implement it to make money! To Tom’s credit, he does that for you. If you were ALREADY doing that on your own, then more power to ya!
Unfortunately it’s difficult for subscribers to get the pricing he recommends (and that he claims as the entry points in his portfolio updates) at the time you read the recommendation. The problem is that other readers are also making the same trade, leading to unusually high volume (and unfavorable pricing) for the particular options in question.
One other annoyance is that he overstates his successes. If a trade doubles and he tells you to cash out half of it, he counts it as a double. If the other half simply stays put and he tells you to cash out the remainder of the position, he counts it as another double.
And if the remainder of the position instead drops 75% so that you close out that part of it at half the original entry price, he still counts his double – even though the total position ended up with just a 25% overall gain.
Tom Gentile recommendations are fantastic. You will learn how to trade options and if you follow instruction well you will be profitable!
I followed his recommendations and ended up losing $3000.00
Sorry to hear it is a scam ..Tom does not show his bank statements nor his audited winning per centages. He just sell the picks nd axes looking for the tools gold. Nor does he list what winning trades and loaing trades are, speaks volumes, talks for an hour to pitch you says these thin g over and over
When I see these get rich quick things, I always wonder: how do they get anyone to work for them? Surely they would work for a day, do the program, get rich, and quit, right? Why are all those people behind him in the video still there working???
I had the same thought for a long time. If their claims really work, all the people in that company would have got rich and quit their jobs and busy on spend their fortune.
